The 110 Livingston blog picked up on a rendering that surfaced on Wired NY over the holiday weekend of a stunningly tall addition to Klitgord Auditorium planned by City Tech, which owns the land, and Forest City Ratner, which is coming up with the dough for the project. As The Brooklyn Eagle reported several weeks ago, the plan is to build 600 apartments as well as 300,000 square feet of academic office space on the site. The folks at Wired NY count upwards of 65 stories and estimate that, with the spire, the building could top 1,000 feet. Yowza!

“Would put the Brooklyn skyline on the map — with an elegant and significant tower. Good location for it, too.”
My thoughts as well.
Very cool addition to Brooklyn and a stunning transformation for an up and coming college. PERFECT!!!
judy francis is starting a new group to fight this called “defenders of the tower”.
The group wants the tower to be built, except they want it on Garden Place.
Why stop here. Let’s take it one step further and throw out all you brownstoners, tear down all your brownstones, and return everything back to farm land. Someone else, was always here first as long you you don’t want to move forward.
I love it
